38, on TRT, and fighting back and shoulder acne

New to this forum, but not to lifting or supplements. I'm 38 and been on Test Cyp. for about 1-1/2 years now. I take .5 cc's each week and my levels range from 500-600. I'm having a tough time with back and shoulder acne right now (last two months). Doc prescribed Clindamycin/Benz. Per. gel and it works sometimes but it's really inconveniant to use (bleaches clothes, towels, sheets etc.)

I had acne on my shoulders that was very troublesome antibiotic creams helped but it never cleared fully. I tried everything from high dosing vitamin b to gels and foams. Eventually the acne turned cystic and hurt like a *****. I decided to go with accutane before it started to scar. That was the best choice I made. Had to get monthly blood tests and such but it was well worth it. It can be taxing on your liver but clear skin is well worth it to me. Pm me if you have any questions and good luck.

Yeah and I don't know how it kept it off for you but my acne never came back.

Any help would be appreciated.

Ntense,
I have seen this issue with many of my clients when they first start replacement and I typically find that they are taking in too many simple sugars, believe it or not the acne clears with a more Paleo style diet. If that does not work then a course of Minocin usually does the trick.

The breakouts did get worse when I bumped my caloric intake up significantly for my winter bulk. And there were a lot if simple sugars in my diet. Peanut butter and jelly on white bread three times a day, with mass emphasis on the peanut butter and jelly, along with other simple carbs. Cleaned my diet up totally about two weeks ago to see if that would have any effect.
